LETTER: Remember the true meaning of Christmas

I attended my place of worship last year on Christmas morning and at the end of mass, the priest asked the little children to come to the manger on the left side of the altar to sing Happy Birthday to the baby Jesus. The singing and the glowing smiles on the children’s faces as they returned to their pews was a moving experience for me. I have lived on this earth for 83 years and 9 months and this was the first experience for me.

A Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all!

To the people of other faiths, Happy Holidays.

This Christmas if you do not sing Happy Birthday, maybe you can say whatever seems appropriate for you.
